First question, is the 6 Amp going to be enough for an Aristo Dash 9? I’m guessing yes, but I haven’t even opened it up or even put it on the track yet.
Second, does anyone know where I can get one? I can’t seem to find any in stock anywhere.
I need the Magnum, not the Aristo version as I’m going to gut the locomotive and drive all this with my Xbee system, or that’s the plan anyhow.
no difference betwen magnum and non… you are reading old data… about the first gen… titan is sold as 6 amp and 10 amp… might want to read my site…

Martin-
What I’ve learned is that the Magnum decoder has all of the pins snipped off from underneath the screw terminals. If you get an Aristo/Bachmann/USAT Titan decoder, just snip the pins off under the screw terminals and you’ll have a Magnum decoder.
Big thing is like pictured on the QSI website that the terminal strip pictured is numbered 12 on the left and 1 on the right. QSI Website Link Josh (QSI Owner) had a bad batch of decoders. This is how you can tell if the decoder is good or not.
Last time I ordered a Titan decoder I bought it from Mike and Renee at Reindeer Pass.
Thanks guys. Was wondering about those pins. Actually, now that I think about it a bit more, perhaps the Aristo is the best for my needs. I want to make it as ‘stock’ as possible, just drive the power with my stuff, everything else would be the same. Hmm.
The “lead in” picture on the Reindeer Pass website is the original QSI “Revolution” (Yes that is what it was called", it had no screw terminals, just pins.
You could buy a “magnum” version that had this unit plugged into a board with 2 sockets and screw terminals. What pins were cut, if any would limit the connections to the screw terminals.
Other than cut pins, all hardware was identical.
You cannot buy these new any more, so Mike should really change that picture.
Once you click past that picture, then you see pictures of the QSI Titan, which has screw terminals on the main board. All screw terminals are connected regardless of cut pins.
Other than cut pins, there are no hardware differences between models.
So, since the question was for an Aristo Dash-9, going into the socket, the Aristo version would be best.
